That's a silly idea.  Without imposing any limitations on what
may be included or excluded, a "non-conforming extension" could
be anything (literally anything) at all.  It could look like C.
It could look like Fortran, or Ada.  It could /be/ Fortran or
Ada.  It could look exactly like C, but always have undefined
behavior.  Or it could look exactly like C, but always just exit
immediately (with EXIT_SUCCESS on Tuesdays, and EXIT_FAILURE the
rest of the time).  None of these possibilities merit being
called an extension of C, non-conforming or otherwise.
